CTRLF is a solid package, but has a crucial difference, in my opinion,
with respect to isearch.  The Readme cites this as an isearch
disadvantange: "If you type any command that is not bound in Isearch,
then you exit your search and run that command".  In my case, and
perhaps I'm the only one, this is one of the features of isearch that I
cannot live without: It's very simple to end a search.  But I don't
oppose having the package in ELPA for people that like or are used to
the way search in web browsers work.
